Indicators - an Optional Extra

I have come to a conclusion that in Qatar, Indicators on cars must be an option.
I have to thank my company for making sure that my cars always have this option.

ESPCIALLY at Round Abouts!!!

say ? About an Idiot who drives his pathfinder with one hand holding his Tea Cup and other hand balancing his Mobile at his neck and expecting his invisible passenger to hold the steering wheel while maneuvering at Toyota Signals ! I wish i could just take a picture to prove this !!

The Indicator was on to provide the rythm and beat to the song being played.

Eng, I didnt specify a gender :)

Too right Alexa, have heard there is a wee bit of this in the UAE as well, with the addition of driving your Nissan Patrol on 2 wheels.

I drove behind a guy in the outside lane for about 3 kms today, with his right flasher on.. Didn't know when or if he was going to cut in..

So Amoud, you are saying that in Qatar we have proof the men can multitask, contrary to what the women have been saying.

Driving is an extreme sport here, but you gotta love Qatar. This is probably one of the only places in the world you will see someone making a right hand turn from the left lane while holding a child on their lap, foot on the dash, smoking a cigarette and talking on the phone simultaniously.

Apparently you should "sense" other drivers intention to turn. I was passing someone yesterday and he just did a left hand turn right in front of me, almost smashing into me and then turned to yell at me.

when they like to play "train".....and when I am in the front car, I show them that the brakes can be applied on the front car first!
